Up for sale, a 1974 Fender Telecaster Deluxe in perfect working order, complete with a vintage case. Weighing 8lbs 10oz, tonewoods include an ash body and one-piece maple neck, loaded with Seth Lover-designed CuNiFe Wide Range humbuckers.
As the architect of the original Gibson "PAF" humbucker, Seth Lover subsequently made his mark on Fender with the Wide Range pickup, a unique humbucker constructed using individually slotted and threaded pole pieces made from CuNiFe (copper-nickel-iron) magnets. The result is a pickup that has Fender's signature sparkle and cut, yet with the added warmth and fullness of a humbucker. This is a punchy, powerful-sounding instrument with a clear, percussive quality in every pickup position and the midrange presence of ash as a tonewood. This Telecaster Deluxe benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The Mocha finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, exhibiting broad, prominent checking behind the bridge on top and across the back. The guitar exhibits various small finish chips, nicks and scratches from modest use, with light buckle wear central to the back and pick scuffing across the strum path. The gloss on the neck profile has palm wear down to the bare maple along the fretboard edges, with some additional shallow marks along the profile length.
A late β70s molded Fender hardshell case is included. Two of the latches are functional.
